So, I've had acne all my life. I've visted several dermatologists and it is improving as I'm getting older. I've pretty much accepted that I'm never going to have clear skin.

So, aside from the whole bunch of tmi that is pimple squeezing, I'm here to tell you all about Milia.

I have been informed by the dermatologist that I either gave myself milia after using loads of super-strong acne face washes or that I was doomed to them anyway. He thinks the former is more likely. Great.

Anyway. Milia are these tiny, round, white bumps under the skin. They're like whiteheads, except they aren't pussy and will not squeeze. Seriously, I could dig right in there and squeeze for ages and fuckers wouldn't break though the skin. They're solid little lumps of satan's semen.

My derm once got them all out of my face by attacking me with a needle. She just lunged at me after I pointed them out. She'd stick it in, and then kind of scoop them out with the needle tip. I am not kidding, she got about 20 of the fuckers and I was left with these tiny little holes in my face.
Sadly, they came back. This time though, instead of bothering a derm with them, I just stuck a pin in them myself and flicked them out. It was awesome. I had this tiny little pile next to my sink of what I affectionately termed "nose seeds". I wanted to plant them in the garden but the ground was frozen. :(

I would have taken pics, but my camera doesn't have a macro mode and it looked like I just had a dirty sink.

But yeah, they're soooo satisfying to scoop out. I used to love the deceptive whiteheads that you'd squeeze and get a big string of pus from, but these are totally my new favourite thing to extract. It was like picking seeds out of a pomegranite.
